NASB | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won over [to Christ] without discussion by the godly lives of their wives, [Eph 5:22] |
Subject: So should your wife wear a headcovering? |
Bible Note: It totally makes sense to me, but I can see how a homosexual could question it. He might ask "What's to say that your headcovering verses are cultural, and my homosexual issues are not? You are!" he might say. Though it would sould ridiculous to us, he might have an argument. I'm going to be thinking about this more and more in my reading of the Word. My biggest problem is the subjectivity - use the cultural argument sparingly - one might say why don't we just use it for gender or sexual issues ??? As I search for black and white, for clear-cut answers, I am reminded of how futile even awesome and convincing apologetics can be - it does, eventually, all come down to faith. |
